Fluid Flow Rate Check
In the test mode , the flow rate can be measured
by removing the bell cup from the atomizer, turning
the fluid flow on, and capturing the material in a
graduated beaker or measuring cup for a fixed
period of time (shaping air, high voltage, and
turbine air must be off).

† Danger of shock and/or personal injury
can occur. Proper ground procedures must
be followed. Personnel must never work
around the turbine when the turbine is spin-
ning or when high voltage is turned on.
TARGET DISTANCE
The distance from the Aerobell 268 atomizer to
target affects the spray application. For instance,
closer distances give a smaller spray pattern and
greater efficiency. Increasing the distance will give
a larger pattern and possibly reduce efficiency.
If the distance is too great, material may "wrap
back" on the Aerobell 268. The safe distance for
the Aerobell 268 is 204mm or 8". All ground ob-
jects must be prevented from entering this area.

† The safe distance of use for type AB268
Electrostatic Bell is 204mm from the bell
cup to earthed parts. The end user must
ensure this distance, as a minimum is main-
tained and that grounded objects are pre-
vented from contacting the applicator bell
cup when the applicator is energized or op-
erating.

!
† Risk of arcing/fire hazard. The Aerobell
268 must be located a safe distance from
the object to be sprayed, as well as all
other grounded objects. The safe distance
is 204mm (8").

MATERIAL CONDUCTIVITY
The Aerobell 268 can be used with a full range of
conductive coating materials. With coatings having
higher conductivity, it may be necessary to isolate
the material supply tank and hoses from ground.
If there is any question as to the suitability of
spraying a material with the Aerobell 268, contact
your Ransburg distributor or representative. (See
the following "Warning".)
W A R N I N G
!
† Electrical discharge can cause fire or
explosion. If arcing occurs when a specific
coating material is used, turn the system off
immediately and notify your coating supplier.
Do not restart system until proper adjust-
ments are made to your coating material.
BELL CUPS
Do not use any tools or sharp objects to stop the
rotation of any bell cup. Doing so will result in
damage to the plating material on the aluminum
bell cups and may cause premature failure of the
bell cup, or turbine.
